Quote of the week

"A blockchain is like writing a book where everyone pays a huge amount of resources just for the chance to add a new page. You get a reward, but it’s only valid if the person who writes the next page (and everyone afterwards, forever!) agree that your page followed all the rules." - Alex Van De Sande
